Medics for Life understands that despite the recent health situation, accreditors are still demanding that general practices comply with the requirements for CPR training. We will (for the time being) continue to conduct Resuscitation training for practices however, there will be some important precautions that will need to be followed,
In order to maintain the safety of participants and trainers during the current health emergency. Medics for Life is following the credible, salient and sensible advice published by the European Resuscitation Council and ILCOR on CPR education and CPR implementation to manage the risk associated with COVID-19. These including the safe participant use of resuscitation masks and equipment (fitted with one-way valves and viral filters) rather than mouth to mouth and/or nose techniques. [See link below]

High Performance CPR (HPCPR) for Primary Care
- 8 Category 2 CPD Points (including fulfilling compulsory BLS CPR)
- Activity Number: 191527
- HPCPR supersedes traditional Basic Life Support (BLS), CPR, (that is not fundamentally an appropriate fit for general practice). Whilst BLS is no more than what is expected of the general public;, practices are required to have more advanced equipment and drugs as part of accreditation requirements. HPCPR is designed to fill this gap, expand the skills of GPs and nurses that are bored with traditional, over-simplified training that does not recognise their skills, equipment on hand and experience.
- Unlike traditional, basic CPR training, HPCPR (also referred to as "pit-crew" CPR) recognises that clinical staff in general practice will not choose to implement unprotected "mouth-to" methods on patients and can reliably distinguish between witnessed, unwitnessed, hypoxic and traumatic cardiac arrests.
- HPCPR has been proven to significantly increase long-term survival of cardiac arrest patients over traditional BLS regimes and is now employed in pre-hospital services both in Australia and around the world.
- This is a new innovative program for GPs and nurses - delivered in the practice setting, using practice equivalent equipment. The program helps develop skills, organisation and the confidence to handle cardiac arrest emergencies with the latest intervention strategies, designed to improve survival.
- Based on a new approach to resuscitation (including the new HPCPR protocol) that incorporates the benefits of high performance skills and a focus on the interventions that are possible and most effective in the general practice (pre-ambulance) setting.
- Skills review includes HPCPR advanced ventilation and continuous compression techniques, the use of solid LMA airways and defibrillation.
- Free General Practice Emergency Guideline Book (setting out the 10 top emergencies in primary care and how to manage them)
- Course can be run in practices at a time that suits staff
- Duration: 4 Hours
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this activity participants will be able to...
On completion of this activity participants will be able to...
- Apply HPCPR procedures including high-quality compressions and targeted management of cardiac arrests of varying etiology.
- Use BVM device, insert oropharyngeal, nasopharyngeal and SG airways and use a manual defibrillator and/or AED; in the HPCPR strategy.
- Evaluate practice resources and readiness for a cardiac arrest event using HPCPR strategies.
- Complete simulated scenarios, including team leadership, appropriate clinical interventions for witnessed/unwitnessed SCA and Hypoxic Arrest.
- Describe the components of HPCPR and the benefits of long-term survival over traditional strategies and apply these as a team in time-critical situations.
